Expert Solution
Step 1

Hello! As you have posted more than 3 sub parts, we are answering the first 3 sub-parts.  In case you require the unanswered parts also, kindly re-post that parts separately.

Step 2

The outcomes of the six sided die is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

 

The probability of getting a number is 1/6.

 

Given that,

 

For rolling 6, you win $9. That is, the probability of winning $9 is 1/6.

For rolling 2, 3, 4, 5, you win $2. That is, the probability of winning $2 is 4/6.

For rolling 1, you win $6. That is, the probability of winning $8 is 1/6.

 

a.

 

The random variable X is defined as the profit. Hence, the variable X takes values 2, 6, 9 with probabilities, 4/6, 1/6 and 1/6, respectively.

 

Therefore,

 

X

P(X)

$2

4/6=0.6666

$6

1/6=0.1667

$9

1/6=0.1667
